I am Sileshi Enyew !

"Sileshi worked in the ILO Regional Office for Africa, External Relations and Partnership Unit as a National Program Officer under my direct supervision. During this time, Sileshi was a valuable asset to the work of the Unit and the Regional Office.

I have been consistenly impressed by his positive attitude towards his work and his performance on the job. He demonstrated excellent oral and written communication skills enabling him to compose quality correspondence and liaise with different partners.

He showed his ability to work under pressure, and also exhibited good knowledge of result based planning and commendable organizational skills. He was also flexible and quick to volunteer to assist in other areas of the Regional Office's work. At all times, I found Sileshi to be enthusiastic, dependable and hard working."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Sileshi as his direct supervisor when he was working for the International Labor Organisation Regional Office for Africa. As part of his consulting assignment, Sileshi undertook a mapping of the ILO's active and forthcoming youth employemnt projects in the Africa region. In his report, he identified the nature and scale of the projects and programs, as well as the financing modalities, partnerships, challenges, good practices and lessons learned.

Sileshi proved to master the search for, and the analysis of large volumes of information and data, and managed to transform and structure this information into a clearly written report. His perseverance and attention to detail have been valued, as this has enabled the Office to gain insight into the scale of its youth employment operations in the region.

Sileshi was very well-organised and managed his assignment independently with a minimum of guidance and oversight. In addition to his personable and collegial working style, he also contributed proactively to finding solutions and ways forward."

"Working with UNDP Regional Office comes with a lot of request and pressure from regional partners like the Africa Union, Regional Economic Communities, and within UNDP RSCA - an office with a regional mandate that housed different nationalities, Sileshi managed to fully support and facilitate the execution of regional programme and projects which covers 46 Countries of the UNDP Country Offices in a very professional manner.

Sileshi was a budget holder of two Regional Projects on GEWE and South-South Cooperation. The success of both projects depended on collective responsibility and effort of teams. Sileshi always took the initiative to bring everybody on board during activity planning, execution, monitoring and reporting.

Sileshi is a proactive person with excellent interpersonal skills. He has the art of listening to everybody and good at problem solving and mitigating conflict in a professional level and ready to learn."
